More than two decades of experience, leadership, and commitment have led to this moment. Justin Miller has been promoted to Battalion Chief.

Chief Miller joined Charlotte Fire in 2003 at just 19 years old and has spent his career developing firefighters, strengthening crews, and helping prepare our members for the challenges of the job.

Congratulations to Battalion Chief Justin Miller on this well-earned promotion and the next chapter of his Charlotte Fire career.

Captain Justin Miller has spent more than 23 years with Charlotte Fire, but experience has never allowed him to forget what an emergency feels like to the person calling for help.

“For most people, in that time, that is the worst day of their life.”

That perspective has helped define Miller as a firefighter, a captain and a leader. From the 19-year-old rookie who first arrived at Firehouse 27 in 2003 to the officer now helping train, mentor and prepare the firefighters coming behind him, his career has been built around service to others and investment in his people.

Now, Captain Miller has been named Charlotte Fire Officer of the Year.

•HOUSE FIRE BOX•

Around 0515 this morning Engine 34 received multiple reports of a house on fire in the 9300 block of Haywain Ct. Engine 34 arrived to find heavy fire throughout the alpha side and into the attic. Engine 34 declared the working fire and stretched a handline to the alpha side and started fire attack. Engine 34 operated with companies from the 2nd and 9th battalions for approximately an hour to bring the fire under control.

HOUSE BY HOUSE | BATTALION 2

House by House continues with Battalion 2, covering 46.52 square miles northeast of center city.

Firehouses 27, 31, 34, 35 and 36 make up the battalion, with Battalion Chief 2 responding from Firehouse 27. The area is anchored by UNC Charlotte and includes portions of University City, with Interstate 85, Interstate 485, W.T. Harris Boulevard and University City Boulevard serving as its main corridors.

Our first stop is Firehouse 27, known as the “Wildcards.”

During the 1990s, northeast Charlotte experienced significant growth around UNC Charlotte. Engine 27 had already been placed in service at Firehouse 22 in 1989, before Firehouse 27 opened in 1991 to better serve the expanding area.

Firehouse 27 currently houses Engine 27, Ladder 27 and Battalion Chief 2.

Its 6.99-square-mile response area includes the University City and Autumnwood neighborhoods, serving more than 32,000 residents and 11,541 households along the W.T. Harris Boulevard and North Tryon Street corridors.

UNC Charlotte presents one of the firehouse’s largest and most complex response challenges, with more than 31,000 students on campus. The area also includes Atrium Health University, University Research Park, IKEA and the Wells Fargo Customer Information Center.

The LYNX Blue Line also travels through the response area on elevated tracks and through the only underground rail section in the city.

During fiscal year 2025, crews from Firehouse 27 responded to nearly 10,000 incidents.

Follow along as House by House continues through Battalion 2.
